KamilPietrzak 0 #1 Posted October 1, 2021 Which one you would take? JFX2 has strong position on market and it's well known canopy, GT-R is something new and there isn't so much opinions about it. Currently I fly x-fire and I like this canopy, so that's why I'm considering GT-R from same company, but in most cases people take jfx2 as next step canopy. I'm looking forward to read your opinion.

Deimian 43 #2 October 4, 2021 GT-R is a more advanced canopy and not really adequate for somebody flying crossbraced for the first time. Think of it like a Valkyrie, Leia or (W)airwolf. For going from X-Fire to something more advanced probably JFX2 or Gangster are better options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travman 6 #3 October 29, 2021 Ive never flown a GT-R but have plenty of jumps on JFX and JFX2s. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the JFX2, its a great wing - as they say a hassle free cross braced. Openings are fantastic, performance is great and its a lot of fun. As you say the JFX2 is more well known which may make it easier to get a hold of one second hand or to sell later on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KamilPietrzak 0 #4 August 17, 2022 Finally I chosen JFX2 and I'm glad that I took this one. I got 180 jumps on it right now :) Anyway - xfire(not crossfire) is super aggressive canopy, even if it's not crossbraced, still gives a lot of harness response and tends to dive - so going from it directly to GTR or other more aggressive canopies doesn't have to be bad idea :) After I switched from xfire113 to jfx2 84 I felt a little disappointed(with my expectations) - cause both canopies responses with harness almost same way, even when jfx is much smaller :) So it looks like xfire can prepare jumper pretty well for smaller and crossbraced canopies :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
